My twelve year old still has about half her baby teeth.  She lost
her first one at about 8.  The older child (18) has 2 baby teeth
(these will probably never fall out, as there are no permanent
teeth under them.)  I started getting my wisdom teeth at about the
age of 25.  (I remember it well!)

      Strange. By age 17, I had already had ALL my wisdom
teeth extracted. Did your kids start teething late? Mine all
had their first teeth before 4 months.
